Abstract

Global Relevance of the research: the quantitative measurement of the state of happiness of people is not yet used at the state level in Russia as a criterion for assessing the success of the country's socio-economicdevelopment, although this issue is being discussed, and the category of happiness is present in legislation and in education, but it is not comprehensively and unambiguously disclosed. Theoretical research and world experience: the theme of happiness occupies one of the central places in philosophy (Democritus, Aristippus, Plato, L. A. Feuerbach, V. S. Soloviev, etc.), psychology (E. Diner, M. Chikszentmihalyi, M. Finchman, G. Howard and others) of sociology (M. Weber, T. Parsons, P. Sorokin and others) and in other social sciences. A number of countries have established government bodies to deal with happiness. For example, Thailand has established a Gross National Happiness Center, Venezuela has a Ministry of Higher Social Happiness, and Ecuador has a State Secretariat for the Good Life.
